General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which
were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were
exposed to:
(a)  On or about September 16, 1993, and at times prior to that
date, employees utilizing the freight elevator were exposed to
the hazard of serious injury or crushing by the moving freight
elevator due to the lack of a car gate to protect the operator.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods
to correct this hazard would be to:
1.  Install a vertical or horizontal opening car gate that would
conform to ANSI A17.1-1971.
2.  Allow employees to load the freight elevator only, send the
elevator unoccupied, and employees on other floors unload the
freight elevator.  This process would eliminate the need for
employees to ride the freight elevator.
